WIBU social distancing?

Went to the pharmacy today as I had a prescription to collect. Only two people are allowed in the shop at a time to keep the 2m social distancing, so there was a queue outside and plenty of space outside for us to queue so no need to bunch up/not leave 2m between us.

A lady joined behind me and stood right next to me. I asked very politely if she could possibly move further back to maintain social distancing. She called me a white btch but did move back and I thanked her. She then kept calling me a stupid white btch and saying she hoped I got Corona and died and that I was a dick for going to the pharmacy as I'd catch it in there. I asked her to not speak to me like that and then the guy behind her told me I had overreacted.

WIBU? I know there's a risk by going to the pharmacy but it was essential, and I feel like we all need to do the best we can- I can't stand 2m from the pharmacist but if there's space surely we should queue with distance?

Do you seriously think you could have been unreasonable? Really?

I didn't think I was, but the rest of the queue seemed to agree with the other lady who h is making me doubt myself.

I think if you felt it was too close, you have to ask.

I asked some people today and similarly was abused. But I am very confident that these people were very much in the wrong in my case. I have shaken it off because there will be tempers running high. Even so, it just make you question yourself.
